It’s time for yet another entry in the Saab Pride of Ownership competition, which is soon to come to a finale.

As always, my thanks to Elkparts for the support. Get your Saab gear there.

Today’s entry comes from Igor Y, living in Connecticut in the US.

Please find attached the pictures of my ‘07 9-5 Aero. It is my fifth Saab. I have owned Saabs since 1996. My first Saab was a ‘91 white 900 coupe, which I had in Switzerland where I lived at the time. Several moves around the world made me part with my trusted friends. The first classic was followed by two NG 900s (red and black) and a black ‘02 9-3 SE 5-door. Although I hated to part with the hatch design, the need for a roomier car made me opt for my current Aero earlier this year. I did that with a bit of apprehension at the outset, as I wasn’t sure if I will fall over the current 9-5 design, but over the several months I had my Aero, it has grown on me. And as far as driving experience, this one is the best I have ever had.

The pictures were taken on the shore of the Long Island Sound in Stamford, CT. Not much of a landmark, I must I admit, but this is what we have here.

That day I went on my last sea kayaking trip this year and my two faithful friends: the Falcon and the Aero were here with me. This morning, December 31st, I actually went skiing in the Catskills, again with the Aero. Rain or shine, snow or suddenly hitting ice puddles at 80 MPH (as happened in Quebec last week), my Aero always gives me the sense of certainty like nothing else. By the way, I completed my Aero academy course earlier this month, what a bliss!

It does snow in New England, hence snow tires on non-Saab rims, I hope you understand.

Happy New Year!
